• When excessive stop time is encountered, more than 25 seconds, the LED blinks once for ¼ second and
the off for the remainder of the 6 second period.
• When a broken coupling or slipping belt or loose hub nut/basket is detected, the LED blinks twice at a rate
of ¼ second on and ¼ second off for the remainder of the 6 second period.
• When an inverter ROM checksum error is detected, the LED blinks 3 times at a rate of ¼ second on and ¼
second off for the remainder of the 6 second period.
• When a mode shifter error occurs, the LED blinks 4 times at a rate of ¼ second on and ¼ second off for
the remainder of the 6 second period. The motor continues to operate with this error.
• When a locked rotor is detected, the washer will sit idle for 15 seconds and retry. If the motor does not
operate after 3 tries, the LED will blink 6 times at a rate of ¼ second on and ¼ second off for the remain-
der of the 6 second period.
• When a lid switch error is detected by the lid switch counter, 3 agitate/spin pairs with no change in state
of the lid switch, the LED will blink 7 times at a rate of ¼ second on and ¼ second off for the remainder of
the 6 second period.
• When an over temperature condition is detected in the motor, the LED will blink 8 times at a rate of ¼
second on and ¼ second off for the remainder of the 6 second period. The motor continues to operate at
reduced performance levels.
• When a brake resistor circuit error is detected in motor, the LED blinks 9 times at a rate of ¼ second on
and ¼ second off for the remainder of the 6 second period. Maximum spin speed is limited to 50 RPM.
• Critical errors will prevent the inverter/motor from operating.
To clear errors, disconnect power until an audible clicking sound is heard when the inverter capacitor
discharges (approximately 15 seconds). Open and close the lid 5 or more times in any 12 second period
within the first 30 seconds of power-up. Errors will not clear if washer is in either agitate or spin mode.
